I have just completed a lockdown project – a slide show of photos taken in Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park in Tasmania. I have selected photos from 21 visits to the park, between 1991 and 2021, and combined them into a Youtube video at 4K resolution. The end result is a photo essay that showcases the beauty, rugged scenery and grandeur of this World Heritage Area. It is one of my favourite places. I selected photos taken in different weather conditions and different seasons. Some photos have been taken on trips along the famous Overland Track but many have been taken away from that track.
Some of the photos have been scanned from colour slides, but I have not used slides from my very early trips to the park.
When I first started bushwalking in Tasmania, the local visitors to the park always referred to is as “The Reserve” and that is still the name I use.
The video runs for nearly half an hour. If you watch the video – please look at the full resolution version, the 4K stream on an ultra high definition TV or computer monitor.
At some time in the future, I will create a similar photo essay of the adjoining Walls of Jerusalem National Park and nearby places on the Central Plateau. Another place of amazing natural and wild beauty.
Simply stunning. Thank you David.
